Victrix has been working hard over the holiday period on some new miniatures for both your Dark Age and Ancient adventures on the tabletop. One of the big things for me was the reveal of new Anglo-Saxons, namely these armoured fellows.

As you can see this fellow can be armed and armoured with all manner of different weapon options and such. It's good to see that there's enough variation coming from one body design and it will be fun to finally see the proper sprues for this set.

By mid-January, the last of the miniatures will have been finalised and then they'll be moving onto the next stage.

Wild & British

As well as these Anglo-Saxons the team at Victrix has also been working on this Ancient British Chariot which comes with not only standard riders but also the woman warrior, Boudicea.

You can also get a version of this Chariot that has a Druid in the back as well, helping to urge these Chariots forward into the battle. I think it's fascinating to see how Chariots are actually used in some of the Historical games out there because they always seem fairly useless in games like Warhammer Fantasy.

Well, unless you're playing Tomb Kings in which case you really should be making the best of them!

There's plenty of neat miniatures on the way from Victrix so watch this space...

What do you think of the Chariots?

More great work from Victrix, they are really on a completely different level compared to competition when it comes to plastic historical kits…

As for chariots in historical games there are a full period where chariots were the kings of the battlefield, just have a look at such classical armies as the New Kingdom Egyptians, the Hittites, or Assyrians…. oh, the Assyrians were mean…

Yes! Been looking forward to the release of the chariots for ages. I can finally get the last bits I need for my Cisalpine Celtic army and have my elite warriors delivered to the battlefield in style. The kit will also come with a druid figure. Excellent.
